Description
STAIN AND SEAL APPLICATION ON THE WORKMAN HOUSE NORTH PORCH
Color: Brown; White
A color polaroid photograph of the sealing and staining of the floor on the north porch of the Workman House, 22 December 1978. Taken from the west side of the porch looking east, the image shows an artisan applying the gray-colored seal from a black bucket to the floor. About half of the floor had been done to that point. At the background is the open door to the northeast wing of the house. To the left is seen part of the restored porch rail, posts, and balusters, as well as part of the wing plaster with its replastered and painted quoins and window hood. At the back and right is the restored "granite block" plasterwork with doors and windows also refinished and painted. The unfinished section of flooring in the foreground is sanded down to its base appearance. On the reverse is the ink inscription "Workman Residence / North (front) porch / restoration in process / providing stain/seal / finish / photo by archt. 12/22/78." Beneath this is a stamp for restoration architect Raymond Girvigian with his name, address, and telephone number, covered by a piece of tape. Aside from a small stain at the lower left front, the artifact is in good condition.
